God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing
you dismay;
Remember, Christ our Saviour was born on
Christmas Day,
To save us all from Satan's power when we were
gone astray,
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem, in Jewry, this blessed Babe
was born
And laid within a manger upon this
blessed morn;
The which His mother Mary did nothing take
in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
From God, our Heav'nly Father, a blessed
angel came,
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings
of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of
God by name,
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy
